Eurovision 2008: Greece

Tuomo writes: Of all the countries, when White Daphne Eurovision Club (membership by invitation only – or marriage) was still alive and kicking (another bagel Moment coming up …), Greece was the country whose entries were among the most anticipated, if not the most anticipated one. We would debate back and forth on whether this would be the year that Greece would NOT give twelve points to Cyprus; like is the Pope Catholic? :-)

Usually on the more kitschy end of the fabulousity scale (it’s a word because I say so!), this particular Greek entry from 1993 in particular has been etched onto our hearts forever. Oh the way how Kety Garby sashayed onto the stage and put on a kickass performance. And that outfit… ordinary mortals would have had flesh oozing out of the slits in the dress without even moving a finger, but oh no: not on Ms. Garby. Ellada ora tous photoooos…! :-)

Otherwise Greece used to belonge to the Old School of Eurovision losers until their victory in 2005. Even before that as well as ever since Greece has fared fairly well, so this is Greece in 2008, Kalomoira, and Secret Combination:

Ok sweetie (Ενταξι, μορο μου…) you have a rocking body with legs to boot – but please: it’s OK to wear an outfit that covers a bit more of your pudenda. We get the point: you’re hawt. Keep in mind: less is more! And don’t divert my attention away from the dancing boys :-)

Contemporary with strong ethnic southeastern flavours: not your run-of-the-mill Eurovision material, but I’ll root for this one! ΟΠΑ!
